Thanks ID but it's a different one,although that one is interesting too (and now bookmarked    ).
I'm pretty sure the one I saw involved flash and was on WC just a few months ago.  

List of some tutorials to make a WB

guess that will be the 3 "Creating 'Shell Animations' for SkinStudio Part"

It most certainly is Quentin.     Thanks very much for the link.
Quick question...to get the backgrounds of progress animations to appear transparent do I have to make it pink?
What I'm trying to do is make progress anims using Apogee Denim Icons(for personal use) as I use these icons all the time I want the background clear so I can use them on all skins,but my technical knowledge is still limited and I am struggling.
I'm using Jasc Animation shop and can easily make the actual animated avi but the background isssue is holding me back.

personaly i don't use Flash i made my file as .png (with true transparency) and Gif movie Gear 4 (thought i need to buy it now that the 30 days are left) see here

I think I'll try this .Thanks Quentin.  

Regarding transparency:
